Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or flavored for variety)

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (for natural sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for aromatic flavor)

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for texture and taste)

1 ripe banana, sliced (adds creaminess)

½ cup mixed berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries for a fruity burst)

½ cup granola (optional, for added crunch)

Pinch of sea salt (enhances flavors)

Fresh mint leaves (for a pop of color and freshness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or agave syrup), vanilla extract, and a generous pinch of sea salt. Using a whisk or spatula, mix thoroughly until the ingredients are smooth and well incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

    Set Up the Round Shapes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a round cookie cutter, or by spooning dollops of the yogurt mixture, create circular shapes measuring about 2-3 inches in diameter. Aim for a thickness of approximately ½ inch to ensure they freeze properly.

      Add Toppings: On each yogurt round, artfully layer banana slices, followed by a scatter of mixed berries. Ensure each round gets an ample covering of unsweetened shredded coconut for that delightful tropical flavor. For those who enjoy a bit of crunch, sprinkle granola generously over the top.

        Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the yogurt rounds to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they become firm and fully solid.

          Toast the Coconut: While the yogurt rounds are freezing, prepare the toasted coconut. In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the shredded coconut. Stir continuously for about 3-5 minutes or until the coconut turns golden brown and releases a fragrant aroma. Once toasted, remove from heat and let cool.

            Serve: When the yogurt rounds are frozen solid, take them out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly, making them easier to handle. Garnish each round with the toasted coconut and a few fresh mint leaves just before serving for an extra touch of elegance.

              Enjoy: Indulge in these deliciously refreshing frozen yogurt rounds—perfect as a cool snack or dessert on a warm day!
